Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

In front of the memorial tablet, Kakashi spoke slowly.

"More than half a year ago. Oh, to me, it felt like just a few days ago. Konoha was attacked by a powerful enemy. I was injured and fainted. I don't know how, but I was in a coma for more than half a year. Thanks to Tsunade-sama's help, I was able to wake up..."

"The ninja world is far from peaceful. Even if the open war has come to an end, the secret rivalry has never ended."

"I wanted to know more about the attack, but Minato-sensei said that the matter was over and wouldn't let me explore further."

"It is difficult for me to disobey the teacher's words, but during the six months of absence, I was unable to contribute to the village as a ninja, which makes me feel guilty."

"Minato-sensei has approved my request to join the 'Hokage's Direct Anbu'. Disciples of previous Hokages joined the Anbu mostly for training, and sooner or later they will be transferred to other positions, so I don't know how long I can stay in the Anbu. I'll just do it for now. If I continue to be mediocre, I feel that I will really be useless."

"But don't worry, Lin. No matter where I am, I will never forget Obito's teachings. In the rules of ninja, between my companions, I will always put my companions first."

"After all, ninjas who break the rules are called trash, and those who don't value their companions are even worse than trash."

Kakashi finished his words with a smile, and a gust of wind blew past... In the silence, under the tiger-skin mask, the Sharingan flashed a cold light without any fluctuations.

Kakashi, you're as boring as ever... Never mind, let's go back.

He withdrew his hand from the tree trunk, slowly covered his mask with it, and was about to escape into the dark vortex.

However, the wind died down, and Kakashi's words rang out again.

"Okay, Lin, you must be tired of listening to me nagging about so many shady things. Then I will tell you something good. Minato-sensei's child will be born in three days..."

"Click!" Obito's pupils suddenly shrank, and the hands that were covering his face slowly dropped down.

Kakashi said unawarely, "Because there is a precedent of an attack, the security measures for the delivery of Master's wife will be unprecedentedly complete. The delivery location is in the back mountain, in a cave protected by a barrier."

"That lady Tsunade will personally deliver the baby for Master's wife. Minato-sensei will also be present."

"By the way, Master Jiraiya has also returned to the village. He is currently staying at the teacher's house. Although Master Jiraiya will not be present at the birthing site, he will be on standby with the Third Hokage. In the event of an emergency, the Yamanaka clan's telepathic technique will notify them directly."

"Looking at it this way, there are four Hokage-level ninjas guarding her. So, Master's delivery is absolutely safe!"

"Well, that's the current situation. Rin, and Obito, let's pray for the teacher's upcoming child with a happy heart."

After saying that, Kakashi bowed deeply in front of Lin's tombstone, then turned and left.

"..." Obito's five fingers tapped the tree trunk tightly.

After Kakashi walked away, he landed in front of Lin's tombstone, tore up the bouquet of flowers left by Kakashi, threw it into the wind, and escaped into the vortex released by his right eye!

"Swoosh!" The sky turned and the earth turned, revealing an underground nest.

Obito landed directly in front of Black and White Zetsu.

"Two pieces of news, one good and one bad."

"The good news is that Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth, and the seal of the Nine-Tails will be loosened unprecedentedly."

"The bad news is that because of Nagato's unauthorized actions before, Konoha has gathered unprecedented forces to deal with the Jinchūriki's childbirth. It may not be easy to succeed."

"Tell me what you think."

White Zetsu said: "Hmm! Madara-sama did say that when a female Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gives birth, the seal will be unprecedentedly loose. The wife of the First Hokage, Uzumaki Mito, was one of them at that time. If it weren't for Hashirama Senju using Wood Release to suppress it, I'm afraid the Nine-Tails would have broken the seal at that time..."

"But the problem is, even if we catch the Nine-Tailed Fox now, we have nowhere to put it. After all..."

Following White Zetsu's gaze, Obito looked at the Outer Path Demon Statue.

"The Outer Path Demon Statue seals the tailed beasts in strict order from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tail."

"If the Golem has already sealed the One to Eight Tails, and only the Nine Tails is missing, then it would be fine, but now the Golem is empty."

"If we can't seal the Nine-Tails, we can only manipulate it to cause a big commotion in Konoha, causing some damage. It is also very likely to alert the enemy and expose our purpose in advance."

"So I think it's not worth it, it's not worth it..."

White Zetsu expressed his sincere opinion, and Obito's face beneath the tiger-skin mask sank and he clenched his fists.

"It's not worth it, isn't it? Even if we can't seal the Nine-Tails in this battle, at least it can greatly weaken Konoha's combat power and clear the obstacles for us to officially hunt the Nine-Tails in the future, isn't it?"

Bai Zetsu was secretly complaining: I don't trust you! You just want to take this opportunity to take revenge on Konoha, the one who pushed your Xiaolin into the abyss, and vent your anger! You even pretended to ask for opinions, but you had already decided to do it!

Forget it... You are the boss in public, so I will just go along with you!

White Zetsu suddenly realized, "Hmm! That makes sense! Use the Nine-Tails to create chaos in Konoha and weaken its combat power. In this way, the balance of combat power maintained by the tailed beasts between the countries will be immediately broken. The three countries of Thunder, Earth, and Sand will definitely wait for an opportunity to act. With the Kirigakure, which we control, taking the lead in the rebellion, the ninja world will immediately be in chaos!"

"Now that the ninja world is in chaos, our chance to fish in troubled waters has come! We just need to wait for Nagato to reorganize the Akatsuki, and then we can go door to door to hunt down the tailed beasts! Obito, your idea of ​​using the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's childbirth to attack Konoha is really foresighted!"

Obito said in a deep voice: "Ah, that's what happened. The problem is that Konoha's organization is quite powerful this time. It won't be easy to succeed..."

"Why don't you get some help?"

"Helper?" Obito looked at the black half under the aloe leaf.

Black Zetsu said, "Yes, helper."

"That's a problem, but the question is, where can we find this helper?"

Black Zetsu did not express his opinion directly, but only provided some ideas.

"It seems that Minato Namikaze has secured the position of Hokage, but in fact, Konoha is not a monolithic entity..."

Obito moved back and sat on the stone chair.

White Zetsu said: "By the way, the clone who went out to gather intelligence got a message that Minato used very tough means not long ago to weaken Danzo's ruling position in Konoha. I believe Danzo has already felt the crisis. If you can persuade Danzo to cooperate with you from inside and outside, wouldn't it be a good choice?"

"Danzo..." Obito's eyes flickered with a faint light, "That is indeed a good option, but there is a better choice."

"Who?"

"Nagato."

"After the Yuyin incident, didn't you say that you would not bother him again before the one-year agreement was up?"

Obito stood up and said quietly, "How can it be called a disturbance? Doesn't he want to destroy Konoha? Isn't there a better opportunity than this?"
